Fajen And Cox Breakthrough…Morrow and Maupin Gain Redemption At Grenada

Battling high water and high wind conditions, familiar names rose to the top of the leaderboard at the Crappie Masters sponsored by the Renewable Fuels Association “Ethanol Fueled With Pride”, American Ethanol, and Bass Pro Shops Grenada Lake National Qualifier and Final Leg Of The Mississippi State Championship March 23, and 24th at Grenada, Mississippi hosted by the Grenada Tourism Commission, and also sponsored by American Angler.

Expectations of a tough bite generally coming to fruition for a field of angler teams from numerous states after recent flooding rains, Grenada Lake, the self proclaimed “home of the 3 pound crappie” did produce some hefty weights for a few teams on day one of the tournament topped with an eye popping 18.29 pound stringer weighed in by the Grenada team and crowd favorite, Vic Finkley and Kim Kennedy, followed by eventual winners Rick Fajen and Earnie Cox, along with Chad Maupin and Barry Morrow, set up a shootout on Championship Saturday that saw Fajen and Cox overtaking Finkley and Kennedy with a two-day weight of 32.96 pounds taking home the $5,800.00 first place prize along with an additional $500.00 bonus from The Missouri Corn Growers Association and American Ethanol for proudly using E10 fuel in their boat. Fajen and Cox took full use of their Mercury Motor and MinnKota Trolling Motor to stay on fish they found away from the field that produced most of their weigh fish on day one by 8:30AM. Day two was a bit different as the day one spot did not produce and the team went to a back up spot much like their primary spot that Cox found in practice which also produced quality fish but at a much slower rate due in large part to the high winds. Fajen and Cox spider rigged Ozark Rods at .6 miles per hour in 5 to 9 feet of water catching their better fish 5 feet deep on a 3 inch Mo Glo Orange and Chartreuse Bobby Garland Slab Slayer. After numerous close finishes, Fajen and Cox broke through for the victory which Fajen dedicated to a good friend who recently passed away. Fajen and Cox are sponsored by the Missouri Gold Fish Hatchery and Pro’s Choice Marine.
